Custom Web Pages
The AXIS 2400+/2401+ contains a re-writable flash memory file system that allows some
directories and files to be changed by the root user, using FTP. This strictly non-supported
product functionality, makes it possible for advanced users and application developers to
add their own Web pages, scripts, and other files to the Axis product.
Customizing Procedures
The existing Administration pages are stored in a compressed read-only area of the file
system. If you intend to try changing them you must adhere strictly to the instructions
provided here and ensure that you DO NOT inadvertently change any files other than those
featured in this section. Failure to comply with this notice may render your product
unusable.
All files stored in the
/etc/httpd/html directory are available through the product Web
server in the virtual directory
/local/. The URL to resident pages in the /etc/httpd/html
directory is
http://IP/local/<filename>.htm.
